This charming town of just over 10,000 people that is only 74 n.mi. West of our homeport. It has a fascinating history. Since it was our last stop and we could “smell the barn” we didn’t stay long enough. Perhaps next year.
It’s a former mining town with a large museum and lots of the old (very) mining equipment and an abandon smelter just waiting to be explored.
This church was designed by Gustave Eiffel and built right next to a tower, which was also designed by Eiffel. They were both constructed in Paris well over 100 years ago. The rest of the story is very interesting.
